Irish Cream Tiramisu
A make ahead tiramisu using an Irish cream latte as the soak, layered with mascarpone cream and dusted with cocoa.
Tiramisu does not have to mean a trip to the off licence for marsala and a pot of strong espresso. Here an Irish cream latte sachet does the job in one, whisked into warm milk to make a sweet, creamy soak for the sponge fingers. The rest is classic tiramisu: a light mascarpone cream, a quick dip rather than a drowning for the savoiardi, and a good dusting of cocoa. It needs a few hours in the fridge to set, so make it ahead.

You'll need
- 2 sachets of Mokate Gold Premium Irish Cream Latte (28g)
- 250ml warm whole milk (warmed to 50C)
- 12 savoiardi (lady finger) sponge Biscuits
- 250g mascarpone, at room temperature
- 100ml double cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 50g caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, for dusting
- 1 small 1L glass dish
- 1 medium bowl, 1 shallow bowl for the soak
Method
- Whisk the two sachets into the warm milk until fully dissolved, then leave to cool.
- Beat the mascarpone with the sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream through the mascarpone, keeping it light.
- Dip six sponge fingers one at a time into the cooled soak, a second per side, so they take up flavour without going soggy.
- Lay them in a single layer in the dish.
- Spread over half the mascarpone cream and level it.
- Dip and layer the second six fingers, then top with the rest of the cream.
- Dust generously with cocoa.
- Cover and chill for at least four hours, or overnight.
- Tip: a quick dip is everything; soak the fingers too long and the whole thing turns to mush.
